This video was so educational since I never considered this tool and the culture of it all. It's so cool to see the host ask great questions and actually LISTEN to what Andy has to say. No ego. Just lots of well earned mutual respect. So cool to see how attentive the host was to observing and asking the clarifying questions I know I would probably be asking as well. Andy is insanely committed and humble. He's got serious skills and is so relatable. These are the kind of artists who inspire by never stopping; always looking to improve his game. You can see how passionate he is. This is what creating music looks like! Does Andy have albums out there already?
This is great. Can we have more of these videos with people who play on records, session guys, live payers etc. You often don't hear much about these artists, but it's amazing to listen to and learn from.
spent 2 years trying to avoid getting intubated in an ICU by covid....watches this, suddenly I'm all WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE MAGICAL TALK TUBES!?!
As always, a FANTASTIC deep dive into a niche yet extremely interesting instrument!! Just got one myself, and this video is so helpful to get started on the sound design of the talkbox. Thank you Jack, Andy, Falcon, and everyone else behind the scenes!
I NEEDED this video. I’m a mobile DJ adding a live instrument vibe using a guitar with the talk box to play a few songs here and there throughout my set such as the Daft Punk song, California Love (rewording it for the local areas), and many others. Thank you for the practice structure, because I had no idea it took that much practice to get it down.
I’m amazed at what work it takes to master that. I have always loved it but I never new anything about how to do it but sing into a chub now I’m told you don’t speak into the chub. Great video guys
I love the way Andy tried so hard to not let his enormous ego take over the show. It was almost convincing! 😂 But no oscar this time! Full marks to Jack for his professionalism.
I wish he would've given him more time to tell those stories at the beginning. I was loving them, but the other guy was clearly trying to get him to wrap up! 😂 Some really good stories for talkbox fans!
Insane skills! I remember when I was 16 years old and a music newbie and went to the music shop and asked for 'that thing that makes me sing with my synth' and they sold me a Yamaha BC-1 Breath Controller for my Yamaha synth. How disappointed I was when I tried it, but still thought it was my lack of skills and not myself buying the completely wrong tool from an idiot salesperson..... :P
The thing I found difficult, and I'm still getting, is that if you need to exhale, almost whisper in order to get out all the sibilant T's, S's, P's etc. But yeah, a few years on and I still catch myself and think "I've been holding my breath..." If you're interested, here's a track with my talkbox in the chorus from a couple of years ago: ua-cam.com/video/xHtgpuRApoY/v-deo.html
Hey what Talk Box was Andy using by the way? I’ve seen ones that light up like the Free Nationals keyboard player uses. I wanna get one !!! Please help!!
Hey dude. That one you’re referring to is called the Talkstar by my good friend Fingerz. It has a built in amp and led blue lights around the driver. I use that one when I’m playing out live. It’s awesome.
seems like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. my inner self would be trying to sing the notes but really youre only speaking the sounds. insane. wonder how long it takes to get that down?
My original rig was a DX100 and the Crate Power Block (because of this video from back in that day....ua-cam.com/video/Ch0q08vCo6w/v-deo.html) with a Pyramid car audio driver. I just recently switched to the MXR unit since it's smaller and fits in the same bag as the rest of the talkbox rig. I miss the highs and lows that the Power Block pushed out the driver. (Edit) Went straight back to the Crate Powerblock after a few months of MXR's shortcomings.
i wish akai would give andy a development team so they could develop a streamlined product which sounds like andys talk box but doesnt need all of the gear involved...a all in one box which can be controlled via any external usb/midi keyboard..in a basic way itd be a amp head with a basic saw tooth synth integrated.. come on akai come on andy studios have been crying out for one for years but no ones come out with a single product.
@@annother3350 neither of those two I needed for any of my unfinished works of art. Who is and who cares about Rodger? I would respect this Rodger the farnakelur once the captain interviews him.
@@davidrobertson4301 The classic Talkbox sound Andy mac is creating here was pioneereed by Roger Troutman from the band Zapp in the 80s. The Casio cannot replicate that sound. It may be good but it cannot do what you see in this video

Andy the reason I bought the MPC Live- the man is a legend.
lol
The video I didn't know I needed in my life.. thank you so much, seen Andy many times with many artists, much respect.
This is great. Can we have more of these videos with people who play on records, session guys, live payers etc. You often don't hear much about these artists, but it's amazing to listen to and learn from.
This is an amazing video, thank you for sharing this! Andy is so talented and humble - absolute gentleman and legend! 💙
So, I’m sold. Well done gentlemen
Thanks for putting this up! One day I’ll give one of these a go and I’ll rewatch this. This type of knowledge is hard to come by.
24:50 - i have a talkbox that im really bad with, but this was the most eye-opening thing to learn. Talkbox Andy rules!
Wow Andy is just about the coolest dude ever!
Such a great session. TY
Simply stunning, thank you guys.
Amazing!! 🔥🔥
This video helped as I needed help with the tube as I've just got my talkbox today at the time this was sent
Bloomin' love these videos, Jack! Thanks for sharing the knowledge, history and enthusiasm. More power to you mate.

Fantastic 😂🤣👌🏾
The MALTESE falcon in the flesh! 🤗 😎 Great video chaps.

Great video guys! Very interesting and funny! Cheers!
this is really good thank you for the help
Great video! Thanks for the talkbox lesson guys. Gonna download Andy's patch now!
Good interview and knowledge on the talk-box⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This should be filed under a “Jack meets…” episode. It was as much about Andy Mac as anything else. Top work!
I’m amazed at what work it takes to master that. I have always loved it but I never new anything about how to do it but sing into a chub now I’m told you don’t speak into the chub. Great video guys
damn, so inspired by this! Thanks for posting this
Why is the intro that one patch on op1 with the two dancing keyboard guys that’s my childhood 🤣🤣
Amazing you two! W🔥W Tooonughhht! Lol Awesome thanks again
Amazing video which has convinced me I need an MPC Live II... is the retro styled version discontinued?
ROGER TROUTMAN KING OF THE TALK BOX !!!!
I just got today my MXR talkbox. After first test easy to say it's not so easy! 😄
Amazing informative video. Jack - did you find out what interval Andy sets his pitch bend to?
Check out the original video, complete with shout out at 3:22 ua-cam.com/video/ad1M3V_M3i0/v-deo.html
Hello ;) I wonder how Andy cabled the pre- amp, is it taking the signal from the DX or from the Mic?
From the DX. The microphone is only picking up the result.
Sounds great what driver are you using i have similar set up minus the mpc
Great video. Would be great to get a schematic of how everything is plugged together
Happy to share bro

Such a fun interview. I could only imagine the laughs if you two had smoked a bit prior to. Thanks for the vid, very entertaining.

is it possible to talk also using a guitar or bass?
what harmony plugin did he use i know its in mpc but is it a stock plugin ?

Ah sweet, they do look amazing. Thanks Andy!! If I go for a less flashy one what would you recommend??
😂🔥🔥🔥🎶🛸
Love you Guys! Is that Funk-O-Rama MPC Expansion Pack already out? Where can I get my hands on one?
Feb 28th I believe Andy said in their last video. ua-cam.com/video/laPNs_ItO-g/v-deo.html
Sorry, I wanted to ask why the talkbox patch for hype doesn't work on the hype mpc version sofware pc
Why dont you have any latest keyboard amp review? UA-cam universe only has a few and old ones.
Share the patch
So you still hv to buy a tlk box?
seems like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. my inner self would be trying to sing the notes but really youre only speaking the sounds. insane. wonder how long it takes to get that down?
which talkbox is he using?
This one is the Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat Mouth Tube.
Andy are you a Mac or a Windows?
Mac! Lol
The world's greatest talkboxer is and will be even in death is ROGER TROUTMAN
plugin not working
;)

come on akai come on andy studios have been crying out for one for years but no ones come out with a single product.
It's called the electrospit
such a misleading title, didn't even show a talkbox. It's more about this unique rig
Goto 12mins 40sec on the video for a frame of the talkbox
Too much talking not enough boxing
Or you could just get the latest Casio keyboard and type in your own voice box words
Its a different type of synthesis altogether!
@@annother3350 not relevant, it has a voice box settings so you can get voice box sounds without having a tube down your throat.
@@davidrobertson4301 No comparison. The Casio will make you sound more like Hatsune Miku than anywhere near the ball park of Roger Troutman
@@annother3350 neither of those two I needed for any of my unfinished works of art.
Who is and who cares about Rodger? I would respect this Rodger the farnakelur once the captain interviews him.

He need to go back and study Roger Troutman not Teddy Riley .
Roger handed the tube down to Teddy who took it into the RnB era. You can learn from all the masters. :-)
Shits nasty AF. Sliggin spit everywhere. Disgusting
